You're wrong. It was a great call. But, need I say more?

Look at the photo below and tell me again "There was ZERO contact when the ball was in the air." Now let's see if you have the balls to admit that you're wrong!

Hmmmm...I don't do football either, but I thought it was correct as soon as I saw the replay back then. I wondered why it was a "late flag," but later, I learned from a local football official that there's no such thing as a late flag.

Say what you want about me, I don't really care. I'll always stand by what I said. It was a kicked call. The funny thing after watching those videos again is that Gamble didn't get his head around in time to even make the catch and it hit him right between the hands and he dropped it. No wonder he plays defensive back and not receiver in the NFL.
The "Luckeyes" stole a national championship. Last edited by zm1283; Mon Dec 08, 2008 at 10:19pm. |

It's just as I thought. You are man enough to admit when you're wrong. You're just a fanboy. Go away fanboy. This site is for officials.

Holding while the ball is in the air is pass interference, numbnuts.

As an official of any sport you should have learned by now that the only ones who understand all of what and why they call things are the guys working the games. That would be you in basketball since you call basketball. But that wouldn't be you in football because you don't call it. You sound like a thousand moronic fans that have said the same exact, uninformed and dis-informed things you've said on this board. And no doubt you've never: 1) Read an NCAA or conference philosophy statement. For that matter it's not likely you even knew they existed before now. 2) Read weekly bulletins. 2) Been to a football clinic. Let alone several. 3) Sat in on local college rules study groups where things like you've been told here are discussed regularly. 4) Been graded regularly and often for years for working football games. 5) Been dinged by a supervisor for mistakes made while calling football. 6) Listened in while others got dinged by a supervisor for mistakes they made. 7) Been praised by a supervisor for doing the occasional great job. I'll bet your quite the deal to work with in basketball. And just to make your day were you aware that this call is now officially listed as one of the best calls ever made. NASO Press Releases If you don't like it then I suggest you print off a copy of the press release and wipe your snotty nose with it. Last edited by sj; Mon Dec 08, 2008 at 11:01pm. |

Now I know why NFL and college football officials are so incompetent: They were once high school football officials. (Can anyone say OU/Oregon last year? Are they going to tell us that was a great call too?) |

One other criticism of this crew that needs to be squashed: Many have asked why, if this foul was so blatant, didn't the line judge (L) standing right next to it, throw his flag. Simple answer is that he wasn't--and shouldn't have been--looking at it. Since the strength of the formation was to the far side (OSU had trips over there), the back judge was keying his receiver on that side. That left Porter, the field judge, keying the WR on the near side and the L keying on the TE split about two yards from the tackle. In the still photo, you can see the L looking past the WR and watching the TE-defender interaction just below the second "M" in the Miami endzone logo. Porter is out of the frame, but was obviously watching Gamble and Sharpe. Both were looking precisely where they were supposed to be looking. The amazing thing about all of the fans who spout off about the perceived incompetence of college or professional officials is that if put into that same position themselves, they would no doubt need a clean pair of knickers after about two minutes of the first quarter...or sooner.
